OK, I have a question as to where the engine and drive wheels are located. In the pic of the last link there are several side ventilation panels at the front of the aft section, just ahead of the rear dual axles. Makes sense from a weight distribution stand point. However I am thinking these rear section wheels must "drive" the bus pushing thru the articulated joining section. I am thinking of a 18 wheeler in reverse pushing the 40' trailer. Obviously not as severe, but how would this bus be affected in wet, icy pavement conditions??

I see the articulated buses in Phila, but at low city driving speeds the traction would not be as treacherous as on a interstate in the mountains.

Experience is something you get Just after you needed it....Ocean City, NJ

I wonder if the photo (postcard)? is it the same as the real bus that is for sale in Houston,TX? The reason I say this all 4-60 ft Golden Eagles articulated coaches have been accounted for and none are in the Houston,TX area.But at one time there was 1 of the 2 articulated Kassbohrer (Academry Express) coaches that was converted to a motor home and it was located in the SW part of Houston,TX.It was painted yellow with orange trim.The other coach was located in AZ used as a horse trailer/bunk house conversion.Hope this helps.jlv

JLV,this shoots down the theory only 2 or 4 were imported one guy is telling us his family owns 3,you have the 1 in Portland I saw, 1 in Southwest Houston, 1 off Texas Ave in Houston that I saw and 1 in AZ that adds up to 6 for me.When my Eagle guy gets back from Norway I will check with him he has been to all the factories in Europe and Texas and has tons of records good luck
